Better late than never. This video was done by Scott Pagano for my house mate’s new project, The M Machine.
While I’m at home in SF stuck in the rain, most of Obscura is in Sydney for this. Really an amazing job. Watch it live on YouTube on Sunday.
Great new compilation from one of my favorite labels: Boys Noize Records. Seeing Boys Noize, D.I.M. and Housemeister at Mezzanine tonight for a BNR showcase party!
Old video of a project done for Obscura Digital for a client’s CES 2011 experience. Created a faux-touchscreen using ceiling mounted depth sensors and top down projection on to a marble tabletop. This particular application was a game themed for the event, but the concept can be used elsewhere i.e. bars, conference tables etc…
Using a Kinect, OpenNI, and NITE in Touch Designer to create a pseudo augmented reality head’s up display with a ‘depth key’…plus laser cats.
When my hands intersect the Z plane of the virtual menu, it changes the background to the image I have selected. This menu style can obviously be used for many other applications.
Supports multiple users and full skeleton data from OpenNI+NITE is passed into Touch.
Using Avin’s Kinect/OpenNI driver and James Bass’ Touch point cloud. (vimeo.com/18041108)

Using a custom USB to DMX box to send Kinect/OpenNI hand positions to control the pan-tilt of two simple LED lights. This concept will soon be employed to control some pretty high end lasers, enabling the DJ to wave laser beams over the crowd by simply moving his hands.
Kinect + OpenNI to Touch Designer (for some cool, Kinect based visual effects in the works) then sending via a Serial DAT to the USB->DMX box.
You can definitely see some latency here, which will be improved when we switch over to the EntTec DMX to USB box. Remaining latency is from OpenNI and +1 frame from the Shared Memory CHOP. May switch to a CPlusPlus TOP for both the depth/RGB and skeleton position channels.
Custom DMX converter box was made by Florian Maurer. (light-deck.com/blog/)
